Recently a friend said they don't believe in a Creator because they could make a better reality

So I asked what they really know about reality. They didn't say but asked what I knew. I said I don't know enough to say I could do better. Of course they meant if they made reality it would be all good. Why do people believe a life of purely good would have any meaning?

this was sort of stated as the first try of the Matrix in the Matrix films. and it did not function because people did not believe it. a 2nd possibility is in my mind. people will not appreciate the purely good world that they will create until they have experienced the heartbreaking sadness that this one causes.

@pdxlinux but not just to say i understand good because i experience bad but to put meaning to the good things we choose to do.
